  • MacKay ("Sohn des Kay"), auch bekannt als Clan Morgan, ist der Name eines schottischen Clans, der aus der nordschottischen Region Strathnaver, Sutherland stammt. Der Clan hatte ständig mit mächtigen Nachbarn zu kämpfen, darunter die MacDonalds und die Herzöge von Sutherland, und musste Strathnaver 1642 wegen des anhaltenden Druckes verkaufen. 1829 übernahm die Sutherland-Familie die verbleibenden Ländereien der MacKays. Das Motto des Clans lautet Manu forti ("Mit starker Hand").
